How Podo approaches labiaplasty

The clinic performs 4th-generation labiaplasty, a laser-based technique that closes the incision without external sutures. Because there are no external sutures, there is no stitch-removal visit. The procedure follows a six-step protocol from marking to final check. Dr. Mo has authored a textbook on female aesthetic surgery used by other specialists. Results and recovery vary from person to person. This page is general information and is not a diagnosis; a consultation is needed to decide whether a procedure suits you. Consultations are available in English. Recovery rooms are private single-occupancy suites. We prepare the documents international insurers typically require: an itemized English receipt, a medical certificate, procedure codes and a completed claim form. Before-and-after photographs are shown only with written patient consent and under identical conditions.

The incision is made and closed with laser rather than scalpel and thread, so there is no stitch-removal visit and the follow-up schedule is simpler for someone flying home. The procedure follows a six-step protocol from design to final check, under an anesthesia plan chosen for you.

We do not publish before-and-after photographs without written consent and identical conditions, and we do not promise results: healing varies from person to person. What we can show you at consultation is how the technique works and what it changes about recovery.

Questions

How long do I need to stay in Seoul?

Your written plan gives the exact number of days. It usually covers the consultation, the procedure, a check-up and the flight home.

Will I have stitches to remove?

No. The 4th-generation technique closes the incision without external sutures, so there is no removal visit.

Can labiaplasty be combined with other procedures?

Clitoral hood reduction and labia majora augmentation are often planned together. Whether that suits you is decided at consultation.
